Title: Best way to reach out to a fellow non Post by: FullMetal on September 26, 2013, 07:53:30 PM Hi, This is different, not being here with a question or an anecdote about my personal experiences. But an old co-worker, whom I was good friends with back when I worked with them, I'm also friends with her husband, has been diagnosed with BPD. I'm not going to go into too many details as A. it's not my place, and B. I don't know all the details. Knowing how great a community this has been for me, and how the lessons I've learned through here and through books I've learned about through here has made me want to reach out to her husband. I really want to recommend this place, but as we aren't really close, I'm afraid that it might seem like meddling. So How would be the best way to let him know he's not alone, and let him know there are resources available for him?

Plenty of reference material that he could find this place on his own.

You could send them a copy of a relevent article/blog sourced from here and ask them if they experience anything like this. They would then have the option to follow the links back to the source (here) if they so desired. |
